Livingston County prosecutors charged Jennifer Hall, 42, on Tuesday for the alleged killing of David Wesley Harper, a 37-year-old man who died at Hedrick Medical Center in 2002 while being treated for pneumonia. Hall has been jailed without bond since her May arrest on a first-degree murder charge in the death of 75-year-old Fern Franco.
In both cases, authorities allege the patients were given succinylcholine, a muscle relaxing drug that Hall had access to. She allegedly had a vial containing the drug in her pocket at the time Harper suddenly died, according to charging documents filed in Livingston County Circuit Court.
“According to medical records, succinylcholine was not used during the attempt to resuscitate Mr. Harper.
Succinylcholine was stocked on the crash cart to which Hall had access and was one of the substances identified as causing the death of Fern Franco four weeks after Mr. Harper’s murder,” a Chillicothe police officer wrote in a probable-cause affidavit seeking criminal charges against Hill.
From December 2001 through May 2002, Hall worked as a respiratory therapist at the 49-bed medical center where six others died amid a sequence of events deemed “medically suspicious,” according to charging documents for Hall.
